16.The defeat of Lee Sedol,the world's strongest Go (围棋) player,by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program,looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can.It is not.There are uncountable things that only a human can do,and that no computer seems close to.The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone.The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic.But even the most powerful programs are not human,just as a shovel (铲车).They have no feelings.What they have is power,but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll.
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent,but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人).Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development,and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world.It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金钱来衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is,at the same time,the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity.If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour,it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way.So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自动化).And robots will never need pensions.AI is slowly reducing skilled work,like some forms of medical diagnosis (诊断),at the same time,as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training.The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.
62.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol,the author intends to tell us thatC.
A.comput ers can completely replace humans in everything
B.humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C.the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

63.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers willD.
A.improve the quality of human life
B.promote equality at work places
C.make contributions to human development
D.widen the gap between the rich and the poor
64.What does"artificial stupidity"in Paragragh 3 mean?B
A.Unskilled workers become stupid.
B.AI discourages skilled work.
C.Computers don't need pensions.
D.AI is ruining medical training.
65.What is the author's attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?C
A.Optimistic.B.Supportive.C.Sceptical.D.Cautious.
3.Handwriting has existed for about 6,000years.It's one of our most important inventions.Without it,we wouldn't be able to record knowledge or pass ideas from one generation to the next.
Most of us know,but often forget,that handwriting is not natural.It's not like seeing or talking,which are what we are born with.In early America,only wealthy men and businessmen learned to write.A"good hand"became a sign of class and intelligence as well as morality.Most,meanwhile,signed legal documents with a mere‘X'and the presence of a witness.Writing only spread to the masses in the 19th century,after schools began teaching handwriting.
   67  -left-handed students often had their arm tied tightly to their bodies,so they'd learn to write with the"correct"hand.In more modern times,you may remember spending hours learning the correct stroke(笔画),formation and spacing of upper-and lower-case letters.
But today,schools are shifting the focus to coursework in STEM-short for science,technology,engineering and mathematics.With limited hours and an increased pressure to meet higher standards,teachers are emphasizing technology and tablets and less of the written word.
Technology has threatened writing long before every man,woman and child carried a phone.It came with the invention of the typewriter,which standardized written communication,and that same argument will reappear as technology advances.
I don't know if handwriting will ever die.But today,the growing emphasis on typing is having far-reaching effects.To get a glimpse of the future,just look at the youth.Instead of curly Qs or crazy Ls,kids are using emoticons such as ? or Λ to give a personal touch.
Typing is more democratic,too-it isn't a complicated skill to master.Keyboards are changing the physical connection between writers and text,and people who can't write by hand,like the blind,can now use tools to communicate only by touch.
I suppose it's easy to grieve over the passing of one era (年代) into another.Sure,I'll miss the writing of letters,and the beautiful and well-practiced signature written with a pen.And while some pathways in our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting,we'll develop new ones as we swipe (滑动) and double-click our way into the future.

66.Before the 19th century in America,C.
A.only intelligent people could learn handwriting in schools
B.legal documents were signed with the presence of a witness
C.most of the people didn't even know how to write their names
D.people would spend hours learning how to write every day
67.Which of the following sentences can best fit in the blank in the third paragraph?B
A.Writing was a means of human communication
B.Writing has always been serious business
C.Schools tried different ways to force students to write
D.Young people worked hard to improve handwriting
68.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.the invention of cellphones started the decline of handwriting
B.handwriting will disappear because young people write poorly
C.typing makes it possible for blind people to communicate
D.typing is comparatively easy to learn,even for the disabled
69.What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?A
A.The era of handwriting is leaving and that of typing is coming.
B.Letters and signatures are gradually disappearing for sure.
C.The decline of writing has drawn much attention from the public.
D.Our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting.
7.Ever since Canadian psychiatrist Michael R.Phillips,who works in China,released his report saying China's suicide rate from 1995to 1999reached 0.023percent,the country has been ranked among those with the highest suicide rates in the world.But Jing Jun,a professor of sociology in Tsinghua University,challenges that view and presents the true picture through his nationwide research.
Jing and his students took one year to set up the first national database on suicide rate to grasp the overall trend of suicides in China.They collected data from the Health Statistics Annuals of the World Health Organization (sample size 10million),and the country's Health Statistics Annuals (which cover 100million people).The database covers 23years,from 1987to 2009.Jing calculates the suicide rate in China based on these data.Though the suicide rate was comparatively high in the early years,his study shows it has dropped in recent years,as opposed to the ascending trend in the rest of the world.
According to Jing's calculation,China's suicide rate had dropped to about 0.01percent in 2004.In 2009,the figure dropped further to 0.007percent,which is rather low compared with the global rate of 0.016percent.Even if the"missing"suicides were added,China's suicide rate in 2009would still be below 0.008percent.
Jing has found that one of the main reasons why the suicide rate has dropped was the steady and big decline in the number of suicides committed by rural women.In the early years,researchers generally agreed that the suicide rate among Chinese women was higher than among men,which is pretty rare in the rest the world.But the suicide rate among Chinese women,especially in rural areas,has declined remarkably in recent years.In fact,it is almost equal to that of Chinese men.
As a sociologist,Jing regards suicide as a social issue,and believes improvement of social policies will reduce the suicide rate even further.More people's lives can be saved if the authorities adjust to social environment for the better,he concludes.

41.From Jing's search,we can seeC.
A.China has been ranked among those with the highest suicide rates in the world
B.in the rest of the world suicide rate has been rising quickly in the last few years
C.different from Michael R.Philip's idea,the trend of suicides in China is declining
D.the suicide rate among Chinese women is lower than that of men
42.The data in Para.2is mainly to prove thatA.
A.the result from Jing's research is believable
B.Jing's research is more complicated than Michael R.Phillip's
C.Jing has made great efforts to make the research
D.China's suicide rate was comparatively low all the time
43.Why has the suicide rate in China dropped steadily according to Jing Jun?C
A.Because the life level of Chinese people has improved a lot.
B.Because China's government has adopted measures to reduce the suicide rate.
C.Because the number of Chinese women who commit suicide has declined.
D.Because the world environment affects the suicide rate in China.
44.In Jing's opinion,what should be done to reduce the suicide?B
A.Pay more attention to rural women.
B.Continue to improve social environment.
C.Set up more mental health centers.
D.Make policies to prevent suicides.
45.We can infer that the text isB.
A.a news report   
B.a research report
C.a description of suicides  
D.an introduction to a professor.
14.You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions office-or not.It's a little bit like the difference between being famous and infamous.
We all know that a truthful,well-written essay that shows how the student has matured is sometimes shared among admissions staffers.(36)ESo how do you make your essay famous instead of infamous?
Here are some basic tips to avoid that infamous essay:
●Avoid the generic(概括的)and get specific.Don't write that you're"fully-developed"or that"many people have impacted"you.(37)G
●Don't repeat information that is elsewhere in your application.(38)D It is important for  the student to use every opportunity to show who they are and impress the admissions office.
●(39)C If you have gone through difficult circumstances,you should share your story.But don't blame others.It's important to show perseverance(毅力).A better essay will talk about how you have dealt with and overcome the obstacles you came across.
●Don't talk about rankings.Many students love focusing on the numbers when they are writing their"why this college"essay.(40)A Obviously schools are aware of their rankings.They want to know why you want to attend.

A.They believe they are praising the college by mentioning the fact that the college is highly ranked.
B.It also shows the reader that you are thinking about his or her appreciation of your writing.
C.Don't complain.
D.For example,it is not necessary to share your participation level in your essay.
E.But I'm guessing that there are a lot more essays that produce laughter and gasps of"not again".
F.Don't try to cover everything in an essay.
G.Tell the reader what you've done,how you've been influenced,and by whom.
8.It was shortly before midnight,and Dr Patricia was getting ready for bed.The phone rang on the end of the line was a woman about to break a promise.
The woman was her mother's neighbour.Flora Harris had made the neighbour swear she wouldn't tell her daughter she'd a heart attack and was in the hospital,for fear her daughter would worry.The neighbour wisely decided to disobey orders.
Harris desperately wanted to get to the hospital immediately,but she couldn't.She lives in Washington,D.C,and her mother lives in California.
For the past year a half,Harris has gone to Los Angeles every other month to take care of her mother.Flora Harris takes care of her husband,James,who's 91and has Alzheimer's disease.They live in their own home,and a caregiver comes to help them a few hours a day.
Harris is one of many Americans facing the heartache of how to take care of aging parents from afar.She's often worried,not to mention extremely busy with a demanding job,two teenage daughters and the frequent trips to California.
In some ways,Harris is lucky.She has the resources to make the trips to Los Angeles.Plus,Harris is a doctor who treats the elderly.
"But it's still tough,"she said."I can foresee what the next few years are going to look like,and it's not a pretty picture.My father's going to need diapers (尿布).There will come a time when he won't recognize me and he's easily excited.I worry he's going to be violent and hurt my mother."
So what do you do when you live a continent away for your aging,sick parents?There are no magic answers.You can hire someone to help,but you can't outsource it completely.

28.Why was the woman thought to have broken a promise?D
A.She failed to take care of Flora.
B.She was not supposed to call Harris at midnight.
C.She couldn't go to hospital on time.
D.She told Harris about her mother's illness.
29.What can we learn about Patricia Harris from the passage?A
A.She thinks it harder to look after her parents the next few years.
B.He parents cannot take themselves at all.
C.She cannot do a demanding job.
D.She cannot afford to go to California often.
30.What does the underlined word"outsource"in the last paragraph mean?A
Arrange somebody outside to do a job.
B.Work something out by oneself.
C.Speak something out for help.
D.Understand something.
31.What's the main idea of this passage?C
A.Aging people in the USA are increasing.
B.The rate of heart disease is high in America.
C.It is difficult to tend aging parents from afar.
D.Harris advises on tending aging parents from afar.
